VTHE ROCK ISLAND AUG US, TUESDAY, MAllOIl 4, 1890.THE DAILY ARGUSJOHN W POTTER.TriMDAT, March 4, 1890.Tbk enumeration and apportionment otthe state is a duty that the constitution ofNew York imperatively requires the legislature to perforin. But tbc republicanmajority persistently defies tbls plain injunction of the constitution and mainUlna the old apt or'.lonment of yeara ago.Tbe reaaon for this is apparent. The fiveheavily democratic countiea clusteringaround the mouth of the Hulsn riyerhare at present fifty one representativesin tbe legislature, a new apportionmentwould give tbem sixty-nine or seventy,aud ti e republican majority would BWcome a minority. It is only by disregatdlng a constitutional duty that tbe republican bMWM hss been enabled tomaintain its bold upon tbe legislature formanv years and return two republicans tothe I'uited Htatea senate.The Hlh TrST mm Trsst.The constant iteration and reiterationor the asstrnon by the high tariff advo.cales that the tariff baa nothing to dowith trusts, finally upset the patience off) C. Perk, of Bridgeport. Coon., who isprovoked Into telling how the tut iffworked on one industry, at least, Unit beknows all about, towlt. tbe wall paperindustry Ten years ago. says Mr Peck,tbe manufacturers of wall paper lornu dcombination and advanced tbe price-, oftheir products very largely, and prescribed a tine of ft ,000 as the penalty forselling below tbe combination prices.But any of tbem was at liberty to sell bisproduct in Europe for any price hepleased Tbe c msequence whs thatAmerican wall paper was sold in Englandfor about half tbe price that was exactedfrom Americans.This combination held together aboutseven years, when It broke up, mnny newplants having been established, and tbeprices went away down Tbe existingplants can produce twice as much wallpaper as can be disposed of in the American market. But tbe manufacturers, instead of seeking foreign markets for theirsurplus, are talking about another combins to tleece the American public, repeating the old game of exacting twice asmuch from Americans as from foreigners. Of course it is tbe tariff on wall paperthat mMh the manufacturers to playthis game, for it shuts out foreign competition until they have added the fullamount of the tax to tbe price of theirgoods Tbc fiict that they have alongbeen able to sell in Europe in competitionwith Europeau manufacturers and their"pauper labor" proves conclusively thatthey could make a fair protit witbont anytariff protection The tariff ha simplyenabledm the to exact from their owncouotrymen twice as much as their goolsre worth, while selling to foreigners atfair prices. It b " d them at theexpense of tbe American consumers, including farmers. Mr. Peck says tha'during tbedo.en years the combine lastedit plucked American consumers to theextent of at least ts.ooo MThis is only one of many instances,adds the ('bu nt',, fYsMI, in which tbetariff operated to enrich the few at the t 1peose of the many . In the case :per, for Instance, it is notorious that formany years the producers S"M to foreignera cheaper than they did to AmrricansDo tbe millions thus wrung from Amencans who are forced to earn tbeir livingwithout government aid go to Improvethe condition of workingmeii' Anotherfact stated by Mr . Peck will shed lighton that question. Speaking of pauperism in Bridgeport, he says: "In 1 50s thebooks of tbe selectmen show tbut onepauper was aided by the town to evuryforty-one of the population; In IflttJMin every fourteen of the entire population.And still tbe demand of the republicanleaders is more tariff .' Be it observedthat in 1800 it bad what the protectionists are pleased to call a ' free tradetariff " It lacked a good di al of beingthat, but It was a tariff less than halt ashigh H that we now have, and a toideal lowwr than that iMMhM in (lieMills bill.
